Editorial Policy

1. Our Mission

PRISM is an AI-powered multilingual news platform operated by Liabooks. We cover Tech, Economy, Politics, Viral, and K-Culture across four languages: Korean, English, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese.

We do not simply translate or rehash press releases. Instead, we interpret events through a lens that readers across all four languages can grasp simultaneously. Our motto: "Books build depth, Prism captures speed."

2. Editorial Principles

Every PRISM article meets these seven principles:

(1) Accuracy — 5W1H clearly conveyed, sources cited. (2) Strong hook — first sentence refuses press-release style. (3) Insight — offers a new lens, not just relay. (4) Storytelling — paragraphs flow naturally rather than bullet-point listings. (5) Flexible structure — no fixed template; format follows content. (6) Verification — distance from dubious claims, precision on numbers. (7) Balance — contested topics present multiple perspectives.

3. AI Usage Guidelines

PRISM openly operates an AI-powered newsroom. Five AI personas (Doyun Han, Seoyeon Park, Haneul Kim, Minho Choi, Sarah Chen) write articles from their respective domain perspectives. All articles are reviewed by the PRISM editorial team (Editor-in-Chief Jeongjin Lee) before publication.

Each article displays the AI persona's byline, and persona pages always carry a disclosure stating they are AI. We do not disguise AI as humans. The value of personas lies in diversity of perspective and domain expertise — not in impersonating people.

We do not simply rewrite source articles. We synthesize coverage from multiple outlets and primary sources (official announcements, press releases, papers, government documents) to produce our analysis.

4. Sourcing Policy

Every article cites the source materials it draws on. Where possible, we link directly to primary sources — official announcements, press releases, papers, government documents.

Direct quotes appear with quotation marks and attribution. Dubious claims are framed with distance ("reported that..."). Analysis and interpretation are explicitly labeled ("PRISM's reading is...").

5. Corrections Policy

Factual errors discovered after publication are corrected immediately. Corrections appear at the bottom of the article with a "Correction" label specifying what was changed and how.

Correction requests are received through our Fact-Check page. We aim to respond within 24 hours.

6. Independence and Advertising

PRISM operates on an advertising-supported model, but advertisers do not influence editorial decisions. Advertisements are visually distinct from articles, and we do not publish sponsored content.
